Hückel's rule is a principle in organic chemistry that provides a criterion for the stability of cyclic, planar, and fully conjugated polyene systems. According to Hückel's rule, a cyclic compound will exhibit aromatic stability if it contains \(4n + 2\) π electrons in its conjugated system, where \(n\) is a non-negative integer (0, 1, 2, etc.).
